🤖 AI Activity Report
Status: very-active
AI Reasoning: Search found recent activity: Cocoon Capital (run by Michael Blakey) shows investments within the last 6 months (portfolio updates and Tracxn/industry listings indicating investments in 2025). Example portfolio companies include Sensorflow / See-Mode / Buymed referenced in Cocoon and Avonmore materials; Cocoon listed as having at least one new investment within the last 12 months as of 2025. Calculating from that most recent 2025 investment date gives a recency under 6 months, therefore classify as very-active.
Angel activity thresholds:
Low Activity – Only known angel investments more than 12 months ago.
Active – Known angel investments between the last 12 and 6 months.
Very Active – Known angel investments in the last 6 months.
